How to Play Silent Night on the Piano

Okay, here is the lesson how to play Silent Night. I am going to use three cords in this song and I will go over them first. If you find your C note here and then every second note after that like we did know the videos, that’s your C cord, okay and if you find your F here and use that same spread that is your F cord and up one more to you a G same spread every second note and that is your G cord. So simply, all we are going to need in this song is a C, and F and the G.

If you find hard to play all three notes just play the first two, you can get a similar sound just listen the difference here and three is
